Default Fikse FM5 17x11" trade for 17x9.5" rear wheels

Hey guys,
I am looking for anybody who already has some rear Fikse FM/5 17x9.5" wheels in good condition that would want to do a trade for my 17x11" wide versions of that same wheel. I need to run a taller tire than stock and unfortunately I can't run it being 11" wide so I am looing to do a straight trade to somebody for their 9.5" wide versions for the rear.

Anybody interested?

My website has a bunch of pics of my FM/5s, but if you already have them you know what they look like. I have gotten a ton of PMs from people trying to trade me wheels that aren't a Fikse FM/5 so I guess I didn't make my post clear enough. I want to trade my good condition Fikse FM/5 17x11" rear wheels for your good condition Fikse FM/5 17x9.5" rear wheels. Because of the taller tire I need to run I also need it to be skinnier. There is nothing wrong with my rear wheels, just need it skinnier that's all.

Default great deal

That is a great deal there, my bud has the a setof 17x9.5/17x11's, would the front 9.5's be the same offset for the rears? He has nothign to put the wheels on cause he traded his car in and the dealership wasn't trying to ffer him anything more for them so he was like, screw it, I'll just keep them. Don't know what his plans on them are, i can't afford to buy them from him or I would, but he may trade you, let me know if you want me to ask him.

I will post up some close up pictures here in a bit when I can bust out the camera and go to the garage.

I just figure that a lot of people want the 11" wide versions and it's a lot cheaper for myself and the other person to just do a swap. When I called Fikse to see what it would cost to put on a new hoop they quoted me a price that was only $100 cheaper than just buying new ones, so a swap sounds like the good choice.

Here are some quick pictures I just took. I didn't realize that the wheels were kind of dirty until I was cropping the photos after I had stacked them back up in the garage corner behind everything. These wheels don't have any blemishes on them other than what happens to wheels with 20k miles on them. No curb rash or anything at all like that.

I have a complete set of 17 x 9.5" Fikses with no curb rash at all
I just have a few question when considering this, where are you located? What tires are you running and how new are they? It looks like drag radials. I am running KDWs, and they are less than a year old.

send me a pm I might be able to meet you somewhere between there and Dallas in a couple weeks when I have springbreak.

also I have the same center caps, the older style like yours

I am in the phoenix, az area. I already have another guy lined up but if we can't come to an arrangement then I will let you know. The tires are BFG drag radials and are definately not new. They don't have many miles on them, but with the power I am making it doesn't take a lot of miles to wear them down.
